The Board of Trustees of the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH) has appointed Alfred Williams as interim president of Nashua Community College (NCC) while conducting a search for a president to succeed Lucille Jordan, long-time leader who passed away in December of 2024. Williams will continue his current role as president of River Valley Community College, with a main campus in Claremont and academic centers in Lebanon and Keene, until a successor is hired at NCC.
“I appreciate President Williams’ willingness to take on this additional leadership role while we work through the search process,” said CCSNH Chancellor Mark Rubinstein. “The level of coordination and collaboration among our colleges supports this temporary arrangement, as we share infrastructure, policies and practices at campuses across the state.”
A search committee will be formed in the coming weeks to identify a candidate for the permanent role at NCC.
The CCSNH Board also unanimously conferred the title of President Emerita, posthumously, on former President Lucile Jordan. She served as president of NCC from 1997 until her passing.
